The 26-year-old Merrill woman convicted of driving drunk in a June 2012 high-speed crash that killed two friends will be sentenced in August.

Ashley Baumann was convicted Tuesday by a Lincoln County jury on two counts of homicide by drunken driving and one count each of causing injury by drunken driving and reckless driving causing great bodily harm. Lincoln County Circuit Judge Jay Tlusty dismissed but will consider at sentencing two counts of homicide by driving with a prohibited alcohol content and one count of causing injury by driving with a prohibited alcohol content.
